Letter: How secure is our voting system?

I am a citizen who wants to know the truth. I assume that all citizens do.

The CIA has now confirmed that Russians hacked into the computers of both the Republican and Democratic organizations prior to the recent election, and that their objective was to influence the results in favor of Trump. What is the whole truth about this?

Green Party candidate Jill Stein raised the money to pay for an election recount in Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. The Michigan Supreme Court shut that recount down, on the grounds that her candidacy was not harmed. But the value of the recounts is not to do with the number of votes that Stein got. It’s not in in the idea that the election results could change, in the end. The value is in proving to Americans that the election was not rigged and not faulty, and that our democracy is working.
